hi guys,

just a quick one, i've just fitted some 17x10's to the rear of my cefiro & i'm looking for some decent rims for up front. i currently run 17x9 +38 meshies up front which with 40mm wider gards still needed to be rolled...

question is, will 9.5" wide rims fit up front okay???

i'm looking at the koya drift tek in 17x9.5 +18 offset...

thanks,

They will clear, just.

I've got 17x9 +30s, up the front, they sit flush with the guard, and about 3-5mm away from coilover, althought it can be more depending on the ride height.

At high speeds, it rubs on the coilover, noticeable less when it's not slammed.

depends on ur ride height, stiffness and wheel allignment. im running r33 gtr wheels which are 17x9.5, with 215/45 tyres, with stock ride height, stiff suspension, rolled guards, 2 degrees neg camber, not sure bout caster and they occasionally scrub at full lock usually wen im doing big angles with lots of speed at full lock

I've got 33 R wheels as well, they're 17 x 9, not 9.5.

You running any spacers?

I run 1 degree camber, stock guards, slammed and the only rubbing is on the coilover at high speeds up front, and I'm running 225s.

Sometimes the rears rub on the guards if I'm not carefull when reversing out driveway...they're 235s, and not sure of camber, more than the fronts.

Getting 215s all round tomorrow, that might help a bit.

Any idea's where yours are rubbing?

I dont have any issues on full lock.

Have you got the splash guards inside the wheel arches ?

17x9.5 +5 upfront on mine with stock guards

Care to pull more pics from previous owner's build thread? :P :P

Specifically...the ones showing all the rubber on the side mirror.... haha

Was running 9+30 with a 30mm spacer on the front of mine which sat about flush with 225/45 and 3 deg of camber. Now have 9.5+18 with a 235/45 and don't really like as the sit a bit too close to the coilover and sit in the gaurd a little bit more than the 9s. Would ideally like to run a 9 with 0 to -10 offset and a 225/40 tyres with my current amount of camber. Kris has it done right need mine to be like that :D

Note: am running r33 lca's with the knuckle pulled right out and abused standard gaurds.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
